Line 22:
* The ending to ''[[Inception]]'': {{spoiler|Cobb's totem starts to wobble as the scene smash cuts to black and the credits begin to roll}}
* Used any time Jason puts together a costume in ''[[Mystery Team]]''.
* Used comically in [[John Carter (Filmfilm)|John Carter]].
 
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
Line 31:
*** Several more appear in "The Body", cutting from {{spoiler|imagined scenes of Joyce's recovery to her dead body}}.
*** A more light-hearted version from the [[Musical Episode]] is cutting from the midst of Tara's highly-suggestive love song ("You make me--" (complete)) to Xander hinting Tara and Willow have slipped away for some nookie.
* The ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'' episode "The Constant" uses Smash Cuts to show Desmond's jarring transitions between 1996 and 2004.
* A ''[[Stargate Universe (TV)|Stargate Universe]]'' episode had body-swapping communications devices "blink" as a result of the spaceship carrying them going in and out of [[Faster-Than-Light Travel|FTL]]. This resulted in people who were temporarily borrowing other people's bodies thousands of light-years away, getting jerked back into their own for a few seconds with no warning at all.
{{quote| ''Destiny'' drops out of FTL.<br />
'''Eli (in the control room):''' All right, this is ridiculous. Jumping back and forth without any warning is completely--<br />
Line 43:
== [[Video Games]] ==
 
* In the ''[[Strong BadsBad's Cool Game for Attractive People (Video Game)|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]'' episode ''Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective'', this happens when Strong Bad tries to edit around Coach Z's bad acting. It fails:
{{quote| '''Dangeresque''': I solved the kidnapping case, Renaldo! She was kidnapped by a monster with a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|broken heart]]. <br />
'''Renaldo''': That's the dumbest— {Jump cut} Dangeresque, you're a genius! }}
 
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* Happens fairly often in the ''[[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Homestar Runner]]'' series, notably the Strong Bad Emails.
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Another [[Joss Whedon]] example in [[Dr. Horribles Sing Along Blog|Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog]] - a particularly bleak one and heartwrenching one at the very end that will have you desperately waiting for another scene. [[Tear Jerker|There isn't one.]]
* A scene from [[G Mod Idiot Box]] uses one of these, when Coach suffers from a volatile form of gonorrhea.
{{quote| [Nick sitting at a computer.]<br />
Line 79:
{{quote| '''Bender''': That's righ-- monogamous?<br />
(''Cut to Bender on a beach somewhere with two fembots.'') }}
* ''[[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]:'' The new [[Justice League]], still a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] at this point, is about to go take on [[Darkseid]]. [[Martian Manhunter]] encourages everyone with a [[Rousing Speech]]...and we cut to everyone chained up in Darkseid's dungeon. While he got to finish his sentence, it was sudden and unexpected. And [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]].
* From ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Ponyville Confidential]]'': Rarity, at Sugarcube Corner, is dismissing the idea that Sweetie Belle is Gabby Gums. "How could you say such a thing, Twilight?! [Sweetie Belle] is the most innocent, most lovely-" *cut to Rarity, back home, finding {{spoiler|her diary}} in Sweetie Belle's saddlebag* "MOST EVIL PONY IN EQUESTRIA!
* Happens a lot to Helga and Arnold on ''[[Hey Arnold]]!''.
